Chicago piles more misery on Montreal

Joel Lindpere put the home side in front when his deflected shot in the sixth
minute made its way past Troy Perkins.

Dilly Duka doubled Chicago's advantage 17 minutes later as he darted through
the Impact defense before slotting a shot just inside the post.

It proved to be a pivotal strike as Felipe Martins smashed a lethal left-
footed strike past Sean Johnson in the 57th minute to cut Montreal's deficit
in half, but the Impact could not find an equalizer down the stretch.

Montreal has claimed just one win from its last eight league contests,
dropping the club to fourth place in the East on 35 points.

Chicago, unbeaten in four regular season matches, improves to 31 points to
inch closer to a playoff position.
